Banshee Spitfire V2 2014

The Banshee Spitfire falls in line with the growing number of bikes that have a little less travel than what you would typically expect to find on an all-mountain or enduro race bike, but with geometry that wouldn't be out of place on those bigger rigs. It's a concept that's gained traction over the last few years, but Banshee certainly deserves credit for being one of the early adopters of the idea – the first iteration of the Spitfire was released back in 2009. Its aluminum frame recently received an update, and the latest version has a longer reach and a steeper seat tube angle than before.
